After analyzing the video “Beauty Mark” and looking at how biological, social, and psychological issues play in the role of young women athletes. I realize how women athletes are more vulnerable to have a low self-esteem, anxiety, disordered eating attitudes, and lower self-perceptions. These negative outcomes begin to develop when any biological, social, or psychological issues come into play. The fact that we are seeing more women athletes having eating disorders should make us become socially active and prevent this from happening. Definitely one of the reasons why we are seeing an increase of athletes with body issues is due to how beauty is portrayed in society. Media portrays women like models, which makes women become bulimic, and anorexic. As well as getting pressured by media images, these athletes are also experiencing culture barriers by parent’s ideals. For instance, parents typically want their daughters to be active in sports and compare them to their sons. Therefore, we have to work together and stop young athletes to develop a mentality that they are not strong enough. Also, women athletes have to create an approach against negative media images and politically fight against eating disorders.
